The Federal Junior Duck Stamp
Conservation and Design Program is
an integrated art and science
curriculum developed to teach
environmental science and habitat
conservation. It has been designed to
fit in with existing programs in these
areas and conform to state and
national curricular standards. The
Program incorporates scientific and
wildlife management principles and
crosses cultural, ethnic, social and
geographic barriers to teach a greater
awareness of our Nation’s natural
resources. This pairing of subject
areas allows students to learn about
conserving the habitat while they
explore the aesthetic qualities of
wildlife and nature. Concentrating on
waterfowl and wetlands gives
students an opportunity to experience
the beauty and diversity of wildlife at
the same time they discover the
interdependence found in nature. The
Junior Duck curriculum demonstrates
that wetlands are not only nature’s
filter system, but the barometer of
our environmental health. Hundreds
of other plants and animals depend on
this habitat for their survival. Free
curriculum guides can be requested
by calling 703/358 2000 or by
downloading them from our website:
duckstamps.fws.gov
A Junior Duck Stamp design is a
“term paper” in which students use
visual rather than verbal articulation
to show what they have learned.
Participants select a species of North
American waterfowl (in the case of
the U.S. Territories, species will be
those that naturally occur in the
Territories), do research on this
species and its habitat, then depict the
waterfowl in an artistic medium.
In 1994 funding for this unique
program was appropriated through
the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation
and Design Program Act authorized
by the 103rd Congress. In 2000 the
program was reauthorized through
2005 by the 106th Congress, thereby
showing the importance the Members
of Congress placed on preparing our
youth for the conservation issues of
the 21st Century.
The Junior Duck Stamp Program has
many benefits. It introduces school
age children to an important and
fragile part of the natural world. It
instills a sense of individual
responsibility in the maintenance of
our environment. And it benefits
waterfowl and their habitats
as well as all migratory birds and
hundreds of plants and animals that
share wetland habitats.
Special Invitation Conservation through the Arts…
In the year 2003, the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service (Service) celebrates
the Centennial of the National Wildlife
Refuge System (NWRS). We hope this
will serve as an invitation to you and
your students to learn about wildlife
refuges, many of which serve as
staging and breeding areas or
wintering grounds for migratory
waterfowl. The NWRS comprises
more than 93 million acres of Federal
land managed by the Service in more
than 530 individual refuges and
thousands of Waterfowl Production
Areas located in all 50 states and the
U.S. Territories. Chances are there is
a refuge near you.
A teacher packet is included in this
mailing which is designed to introduce
the concept of the refuge system to
your students while at the same time
teach about waterfowl. It will guide
you in preparing your students for
participation in this year’s Junior
Duck Stamp Competition. Celebrate
with us and become eligible to win a
trip to the National Junior Duck
Stamp Competition.
Contact your state
coordinator for more
information.
Paul Kroegel,
first Refuge
Manager.

Before photocopying and distributing
the entry form to students, fill out
school and press information —
print clearly.
TEACHERS, be sure to look at your
students’ references to determine that
the work they are submitting is their
own original work of art and not a copy
of someone else’s work (original art or
photos). Assume responsibility for
making the ethics of art competitions
known to students and refuse to
approve the student’s entry which
carries any doubt as to its authenticity
and originality. Copyright laws apply to
intellectual property. Your signature on
the entry form is confirmation of the
originality of the student’s entry. The
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service reserves
the right to disqualify any entry that is
questionable as to its authenticity.
Important Fact
The unauthorized use
of the work of another
person and representation
of it as your own is
plagiarism. Plagiarism
is a crime punishable by
law and grounds for
disqualification by the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service!

The Federal Junior Duck Stamp
Conservation and Design Program is
an integrated art and science
curriculum developed to teach
environmental science and habitat
conservation. It has been designed to
fit in with existing programs in these
areas and conform to state and
national curricular standards. The
Program incorporates scientific and
wildlife management principles and
crosses cultural, ethnic, social and
geographic barriers to teach a greater
awareness of our Nation’s natural
resources. This pairing of subject
areas allows students to learn about
conserving the habitat while they
explore the aesthetic qualities of
wildlife and nature. Concentrating on
waterfowl and wetlands gives
students an opportunity to experience
the beauty and diversity of wildlife at
the same time they discover the
interdependence found in nature. The
Junior Duck curriculum demonstrates
that wetlands are not only nature’s
filter system, but the barometer of
our environmental health. Hundreds
of other plants and animals depend on
this habitat for their survival. Free
curriculum guides can be requested
by calling 703/358 2000 or by
downloading them from our website:
duckstamps.fws.gov
A Junior Duck Stamp design is a
“term paper” in which students use
visual rather than verbal articulation
to show what they have learned.
Participants select a species of North
American waterfowl (in the case of
the U.S. Territories, species will be
those that naturally occur in the
Territories), do research on this
species and its habitat, then depict the
waterfowl in an artistic medium.
In 1994 funding for this unique
program was appropriated through
the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation
and Design Program Act authorized
by the 103rd Congress. In 2000 the
program was reauthorized through
2005 by the 106th Congress, thereby
showing the importance the Members
of Congress placed on preparing our
youth for the conservation issues of
the 21st Century.
The Junior Duck Stamp Program has
many benefits. It introduces school
age children to an important and
fragile part of the natural world. It
instills a sense of individual
responsibility in the maintenance of
our environment. And it benefits
waterfowl and their habitats
as well as all migratory birds and
hundreds of plants and animals that
share wetland habitats.
Special Invitation Conservation through the Arts…
In the year 2003, the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service (Service) celebrates
the Centennial of the National Wildlife
Refuge System (NWRS). We hope this
will serve as an invitation to you and
your students to learn about wildlife
refuges, many of which serve as
staging and breeding areas or
wintering grounds for migratory
waterfowl. The NWRS comprises
more than 93 million acres of Federal
land managed by the Service in more
than 530 individual refuges and
thousands of Waterfowl Production
Areas located in all 50 states and the
U.S. Territories. Chances are there is
a refuge near you.
A teacher packet is included in this
mailing which is designed to introduce
the concept of the refuge system to
your students while at the same time
teach about waterfowl. It will guide
you in preparing your students for
participation in this year’s Junior
Duck Stamp Competition. Celebrate
with us and become eligible to win a
trip to the National Junior Duck
Stamp Competition.
Contact your state
coordinator for more
information.
Paul Kroegel,
first Refuge
Manager.

Before photocopying and distributing
the entry form to students, fill out
school and press information —
print clearly.
TEACHERS, be sure to look at your
students’ references to determine that
the work they are submitting is their
own original work of art and not a copy
of someone else’s work (original art or
photos). Assume responsibility for
making the ethics of art competitions
known to students and refuse to
approve the student’s entry which
carries any doubt as to its authenticity
and originality. Copyright laws apply to
intellectual property. Your signature on
the entry form is confirmation of the
originality of the student’s entry. The
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service reserves
the right to disqualify any entry that is
questionable as to its authenticity.
Important Fact
The unauthorized use
of the work of another
person and representation
of it as your own is
plagiarism. Plagiarism
is a crime punishable by
law and grounds for
disqualification by the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service!
